Limerick of the Week (48)
It’s time to announce the latest Limerick of the Week based on submissions (on this blog and on Facebook) in last week’s Limerick-Off. I’m very pleased to announce the winning Limerick of the Week and the Honorable Mentions:
Congratulations to SCOTT CROWDER who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:
A fellow was way off his game,
When the ‘Notice of Child Support’ came.
They had fun there’s no doubt,
On that couch that pulled out.
He wishes that he’d done the same.
And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Phyllis Sterling Smith a/k/a Granny Smith, Colleen Murphy, and Jane Shelton Hoffman. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:
Phyllis Sterling Smith a/k/a Granny Smith:
A fellow was way off his game
Of finding wild beasts he could tame,
But gained recognition
(Though NOT by volition)
When eaten by lions. That’s fame!
Colleen Murphy:
A fellow was way off his game,
Speed eating his once-claim-to-fame.
While wolfing down pie
Some seagulls flew by;
What they dropped and his bite were the same.
Jane Shelton Hoffman:
A woman was way off her game.
Her sex life was getting too tame.
She perfumed certain parts
And tattooed on some hearts,
But still with all this, no one came!
Congratulations again to all the winners for your wonderful limericks. And thanks to everyone for your fun submissions.
In the next couple of minutes I’ll be posting a new Limerick-Off, which gives you yet another opportunity to win Limerick Of The Week.

Congrats to all! I was posting as all was ending !
A woman was way off her game
her attempt at the limerick late came
yes she did start
as others did part
Coming Whilst Going her name
See you next time :)
All wonderful Scott Crowder …! I am still laughing! BRAVO!
Congratulations, Scott. Good limericking!

Mad, Should there be a Limerick of the Year?
Scott, That was hysterical.
Thanks again, Madeleine. And congratulations to Scott. Your super-clever limerick certianly deserved the win!
Thanks for your comments, everyone. And Veralynne, I’ve actually been thinking about some sort of year end award and possible ways to pick a winner.
